Long ago I took one of those 'What D&D archtype are you?' online quizzes and it said I was an elven Bard (with the impossible alignment of Lawful Neutral, google it). When I started XI I went the shortest elvaan I could manage and gunned for Bard. It... bit me in the butt as Bard in XI is strictly support making any kind of soloing neigh impossible unless I really overleveled it. XIV 1.0 started as a short wildwood elezen conjurer and once I could change class hopped over to archer then unlocked Bard (cause Bard needed conjurer then). Even picked a hairstyle similar to what I had in XI (long, dark). 2.0 I didn't change much though I did push the boob slider to 0 (if I wanted huge boobs I'd have played a duskwight, biggest boobs in 1.0). I do change my hairstyle from time to time as I like to have my character look like me, guess I'm vain like that.
